It's Thursday, which means it's the beginning of yet another weekend of sneaker releases. The month of April is closing out strong with an array of drops from Nike Sportswear and Jordan Brand, along with three runner collaborations from the likes of ASICS, adidas, and Diadora.
For starters, Nike Sportswear has updates in store for several classic silhouettes, including new looks for the Air Huarache Light, Air Max 90, and Dunk High. Meanwhile, the Nike Basketball Elite Series will get a breather while the Nike LeBron 12 EXT "Rubber City" and Kyrie 1 "Home" take the spotlight.
Jordan Brand has readied a trio of releases, including the Jordan XIII Low "Hornets" which was pushed back from last week. The 11Lab4 makes its debut in a murdered out look, while the Jordan VII goes back to '92 to find inspiration for the "Barcelona Nights" colorway.
